CMC Diecast 1:18 Ferrari
156 F1 Sharknose (Plain
Colour). The 1961 Formula
1 season came up with a
completely new rule type.
The racing teams had to
switch their engines from
2.5 to 1.5 liters.
Ferrari found itself in a
very good position. They
had developed a V6
mid-mounted engine with a
120 degrees cylinder
angle and a maximum
output of 190 hp. The new
156 F1 had a very unusual
front design. So pretty
soon, many people gave
it the nickname
Sharknose. Technically
and ostensibly, the
156F1 was the most
successful development in
1961. The season ended
for the Scuderia with a
large success but also
with a disastrous
tragedy. Phil Hill became
the first American
Formula 1 World Champion.
The German Ferrari star
Wolfgang Graf Berghe von
Trips, that led the
ranking for most of the
season, became involved
in a deadly accident in
Monza. Never before joy
and teariness was that
close on just one day.
Annotation: It is factual
that no original Ferrari
156 F1 exists in the
whole world. But after
months of meticulous
research and contacting
countless Ferrari
experts, CMC was able to
get all necessary data
for a harmonious model
development. Thanks to
that kind of knowledge
about the car and its
famous drivers, we are
in a position to
accomplish this mission
impossible with
true-to-the-original

CMC Diecast 1:12 scale
model Horch 853 1937. The
name of Horch was a
synonym for noblesse,
highest quality and noble
lines in car manufacture
in that time. The type
853 might have been the
most remarkable model the
car manufacturer of
Zwickau presented the
public in 1937. The
four-seater sport
convertible with its
5-litre-engine was the
preferred vehicle of
industrialists, actors
and high politicians –
in short: the High
Society. Still today,
this Horch car seems as
fascinating as in that
time. In order to show
its flair to its best
advantage, we have
chosen the large scale of
1:12 for its reproduction
and can offer you now a
model of extraordinary
charisma, elegance and
constant value which
stands out due to the
love of detail. There are

CMC Diecast 1:18 Bugatti
Type 57 SC Atlantic 1938.
The original Type 57 was
a touring car model
produced from 1934
through 1940. It used the
3.3 L (3257 cc; 198 cu
in) engine from the Type
59Grand Prix cars,
producing 135 hp (100
kW). Top speed was 95
miles per hour (153
km/h). It rode on a
130-inch (3, 302 mm)
wheelbase and had a
53.1-inch (1, 349 mm)
wide track. Road-going
versions weighed about 2,
100 pounds (950 kg).
Hydraulic brakes replaced
the cable-operated units
in 1938, a modification
Ettore Bugatti hotly
contested. 630 examples
were produced. The
original road-going Type
57 included a smaller
version of the Royale's
square-bottom horseshoe
grille. The sides of the
engine compartment were
covered with
thermostatically-controlled
shutters. It was a tall
car, contrary to the
tastes of the time.

CMC Diecast 1:12 scale
model Mercedes SLR
McLaren 2003. It’s
unusual that a car
becomes connected to that
many superlatives like
the SLR. And indeed,
it’s not only a car –
it’s pure emotion.
Aspirations of the good
old times resurrect
again, when motor races
were real adventures for
bold men. We remember the
glorious SLR-races of the
50s and the legendary
roadworthy
coupéversions, which
became history as the
so-called
“Uhlenhaut-Coupé”. The
SLR is connecting the
myth of the old Silver
Arrows with the high-tech
of Formula of the
present. During the
development of the SLR,
Mercedes and McLaren
exchanged all their
know-how of motorsport.
The result: Extravagant
elegance, unbelievable
power, extraordinary
riding qualities,
highest comfort, highest
possible safety. The
untouchable superiority
of the SLR imparts the
driver a feeling of
freedom and adventure.
That’s the way motoring
is ment to be –
kilometer by kilometer.
Extraordinary originals
are demanding
extraordinary models: The
model in the big scale
1:12 comes up to the
highest expectations of

During the development,
CMC was using the costly
sterolithography method.

production engineers to
produce true to the
original and accurate to

CMC Diecast 1:18 scale
model Bugatti T35 1924
blue. An ingenious
eccentric, Ettore
Bugatti started his
factory in Molsheim,
Alsace, and set the pace
for the young automobile
industry when he himself
was still young. With his
ground-breaking Type 35
in 1924, he created the
superior racing car of
his era, which would
become the inspiration
for many other models.
Type 35 had his Grand
Prix premiere at the
European Grand Prix of
Lyon/France at the 3rd of
August in 1924. As of
today, the Bugatti Type
35 remains the
unparalleled record
holder of 1, 851
documented victories.
Since all these victories
were scored within the
short period of 1924
through 1927, the Type
35 is the most successful
8-cylinder in-line engine
and racing car of all
times. Nicknamed "Le
Patron", Ettore Bugatti
is remembered as one of
the most valued
automobile engineers
because of his
exceptional talent and
the new height he set for
the technical design of
his time. So noteworthy
are the so-called
"gentlemen" drivers who
steered Bugatti cars to
victories with a lot of
fanfare and charisma.
Among those who wound up
behind the steering wheel
were counts, gigolos,
bohemians and
adventurers. The majority
of them were very
wealthy. They lived in a
world of luxury that
featured excessive
parties, startling love
affairs, costly wagers
as well as reckless urges
to play with their lives.
Take a close look at our
model and be transported
back to a world of
extraordinary design and
elegance in the 1920s –
the world of Ettore
Bugatti. Hand-assembled
from 926 parts, this
miniature, which is a
display of a Grand Prix
racing version (without
an additional spare
wheel), takes a lot of
experience and love of
details to create. It is
a fine example of the
authentic replication and
superior craftsmanship
that only CMC can bring
to you. Simply a piece of
art. The trademark
horse-shoe cooler, the
spoke wheels made of
aluminum cast, and the
rectangular box-shaped
engine – these are just
a few characteristics
that make the car so very
special. ****PLEASE EMAIL

CMC Diecast 1:18 scale
model Ferrari 500 F2
1953. 1950 marked the
inception of the Formula
One World Championship.
From Day One, Ferrari
was involved in this
highest class of auto
racing, flashing a
distinctive symbol of the
small black prancing
horse called “Cavallino
Rampante” in Italian.
In fact, Ferrari is the
only F1 participant that
has remained active ever
since. Its record of
successes is just as
impressive. In 1951 Alfa
Romeo – the toughest
opponent of Ferrari –
decided to quit the
Formula 1 series. The
rules for competition
were subsequently changed
so that Formula 2 racing
cars were allowed to
participate in the
championship. Luckily
Ferrari had already
developed one – the 500
F2. The new car was
light-weighted and
compact in size. Other
new features included a
very low barycentre,
well balanced
distribu¬tion of the
aggregates, good brakes
and high torque.
Developed by Aurelio
Lampredi, the 4-cylinder
engine was capable of
rendering 185 hp. All
these gave the 500 F2 a
superior manoeuvre and
response to handling. But
there was more. The
driver of the 500 F2 was
none other than the
exceptionally gifted
Alberto Ascari. It was
not without reason that
he was known as ”The
flying Milan“. Ascari
drove his 500 F2 to the
title of a two-time world
champion in 1952 and
1953. Other drivers such
as Villoresi, Farina,
Taruffi and the young
Mike Hawthorn also
contributed to the
winning streak of the 500
F2. This legendary car
virtually won everything
there was to win during
these years, hence its
nickname “the
Super-Ferrari.” With
the return of the
Mercedes and the rise of
the Maserati in the 1954
season, Ferrari was
faced with new
cha¬lenges. As a result,
its winning streak came
to a temporary end. One
year later – in 1955,
Alberto Ascari died of a
tragic accident in Monza,
and the whole nation of
Italy was deeply
mournful. This allmetal
model is a sincere
tribute to the legendary
Ferrari 500 F2, the
world championship car of
1953. Hand assembled from
1, 463 parts, M-056 is
exactly detailed and
feature the
craft¬manship and
precision that make CMC
miniatures so special in
the hearts of collectors.
Just take a look under
the engine hood or remove
the rear part to assure
yourself! By the way,
you can save your’re
time if you want to know
how many rivets are
included on the gas- and
oiltank. We already did
that job for you. 526
single rivets were
necessary to rebuild the
tanks true to the
original. ****PLEASE

CMC Diecast 1:18 scale
model Mercedes 300SLR 722
1955 Stirling Moss.
Stirling Moss won the
1955 Mille Miglia in a
300 SLR with an average
speed of 157.65 km/h over
1, 600 km (97.96 mph in
994 miles). He was
assisted by his co-driver
Denis Jenkinson, a
British motor-racing
journalist, who informed
him with previously taken
notes, ancestors to the
pacenotes used in modern
rallying. The 300 SLRs
later scored additional
victories in Germany,
Sweden, Ireland and at
the Targa Florio in
Sicily, and won the
world championship for
sports cars in the
constructors'
ranking. However, these
impressive victories were
overshadowed when the 300
SLRs, leading the 1955
24 Hours of Le Mans,
were withdrawn after the
horrific accident
involving the car driven
by Pierre Levegh. 82
spectators, and one
competitor - Levegh -
lost their lives in what
remains the
highest-fatality accident
in the history of
motorsport. Aspects of
the accident were
directly related to the
SLR's unusual design -
even with the innovative
air-brake, the drum
brakes were not effective
enough to stop Levegh
ploughing into the back
of an Austin-Healey,
causing the car to become
airborne. Worse, the
ultra-lightweight
Elektron bodywork's high
magnesium content caused
it to ignite in the
ensuing fuel fire,
causing significant
injury and loss of life
amongst spectators.
Following this tragedy,
Mercedes withdrew from
competitive motorsport
until the mid-1980s.

CMC Diecast 1:18 Mercedes
300SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe
1955. Of the nine W196s
chassis built, one was
destroyed in the Le Mans
disaster. Of the eight
that remained (and prior
to the accident) Mercedes
motorsport chief Rudolf
Uhlenhaut had ordered two
to be set aside for
modification into a sort
of hybrid between the SLR
and the SL, featuring a
slightly widened version
of the SLR's chassis with
enclosed bodywork for
aerodynamic purposes.
Again, the strong, high
sill beams of the
spaceframe required the
fitment of the same
famous 'gull-wing'
top-hinged doors of the
other two types. For
testing, and in
preparation for a
possible Mercedes
participation in the 1956
race season, two
road-legal SLRs were
built. Due to Mercedes'
planned withdrawal from
competitive motorsport at
the end of 1955, the
programme was abandoned,
leaving Uhlenhaut to use
one of the cars as a
company car. This
prolonged road use
required the fitting of
an extra suitcase-sized
muffler to the
near-unsilenced exhaust
pipes to avoid arrest for
breach of the peace. This
Uhlenhaut Coupé was
regarded as the world's
fastest car in the 1950s,
and it is rumoured that,
running late for a
meeting, Uhlenhaut
exploited the unlimited
autobahns to make today's
two-and-a-half-hour
journey from Munich to
Stuttgart in just over an
hour. ****PLEASE EMAIL OR

CMC Diecast 1:18 scale
model Marerati 250F 1957.
True to the scale and
perfect in form display
of the body in high-class
painting. Realistic
design of the front &
rear wheel suspension
with springing. Accurate
cabelling and pipe
installation. Quick
opening device for the
racing cars nose and the
engine compartment side
plates. Made of stainless
steel bolts and protected
with steel wire (parts
are not removable). 90
years of Maserati: reason
enough for CMC to concern
themselves closer with
that brand which is
without a doubt one of
the Italian racing car
manufacturers with the
most venerable history.
CMC decided to appreciate
this birthday with a
replication of the 250 F.
After all this racing car
is called the most
beautiful Monoposto who
ever hit the racetrack.
Also was the year 1957
doubtless one of the
distinguished and
eventfulliest of the
company’s history. Back
then at the 4th of
August, more than
200.000 people watched
the start of the Grand
Prix of the century at
the Nürburgring. After a
acrimonious fight with
his both biggest rivals
Mike Hawthorn and Peter
Collins, both driving
the Ferrari 801 F1, Juan
Manuel Fangio was able to
celebrate with his
lightweight constructed
Maserati 250 F and only
with a head start of 3.6
seconds one of his
largest triumphs. Because
with that terrific
victory Fangio conquered
his 5th world
championship title and
became a legend of racing
car history, and so did
the 250 F. The full metal
model is made of 1, 387
single handmounted parts.
And as we show you here,
we focused our attention
not only at the body.
Also the “inner life”
of the model was build
with the highest possible
level of details. Even if
some of the parts are
invisible for your eyes
after the assembling –
just like the original.

CMC Diecast 1:18 Mercedes
SSKL 8 1931 Ltd. One
manufacturer dominated
the racing scene from the
mid to the late 1920’s,
and even in 1931. That
manufacturer was
Mercedes-Benz with its
legendary supercharged
models from the SSK
series. The race cars of
that period proved their
performance in a variety
of races. The
Mercedes-Benz racers were
called the “White
Elephants” because of
their overwhelming power
and great size. 1931
became a very special
year for the talented
driver Rudolf Caracciola
and his SSK. The
Mercedes-Benz factory in
Untertürkheim only
provided limited support
because of the worldwide
economic crisis. In spite
of that, Rudolf
Caracciola, with his
lightweight SSKL,
achieved two sensational
victories in 1931.
Caracciola’s greatest
victory was undoubtedly
the Mille Miglia on April
12-13, 1931. Soon after,
the public was treated
to his next triumph in a
Mercedes SSKL. On July
19, Caracciola and his
“White Elephant”
achieved victory in the
Grand Prix of Germany.
The race was held at the
legendary Nordschleife of
the Nürburgring, also
called the “Green
Hell.” The drivers had
to master 22 laps, a
challenge of 501.8 km.
“Caratsch” and his
co-pilot Wilhelm
Sebastian covered that
distance in only 4 hours,
38 minutes, and 10
seconds, with an average
speed of 108.3 km/h.

CMC Diecast 1:18 Ferrari
Testa Rossa Ltd. Two
Versions 1) May we
introduce “Lucybelle”
to you? That is the name
by which the Testa Rossa
with the chassis number
0732 first came to be
known in its good old
days. The owner Ed Hugus
was an American, who
decided to have the car
painted in American
racing white with double
blue stripes. Admittedly,
that appearance was
unusual for a Ferrari.
But take a look for
yourself: Isn’t it
strikingly beautiful?
This is why we build a
high-end miniature
replica after it,
limited to 5, 000 pieces
worldwide. One of
Lucybelle’s racing
highlights was a 7th rank
at the famous 24 Hours of
Le Mans in 1958, where
it had the starting
number 22. The drivers Ed
Hugus and Ernie Erickson
won their spot by
competing triumphantly
against a large number of
tough competitors. Our
model represents the
current status of the
car. Version 2) Chassis
No. 0714 went into the
manufacturing of the
second Testa Rossa,
which was earmarked for
Mr. Piere Drogo, a
gentleman from Venezuela.
In early December 1957,
the new car was delivered
to him in Modena, Italy.
He intended to pilot it
in as many races as
possible. One of the
modifications he made was
to install an additional
air inlet underneath the
doors so as to improve
the cooling of the rear
wheel drum brakes. His
first race took place in
Buenos Aires, Argentina
in January 1958. Since
then, more than half a
century has passed. In
the course of time,
Testa Rossa (meaning
“Red Head” in
English) became a most
successful and best-known
Ferrari model of all
time. Perfectly restored
and painted in deep black
with a flamboyant
red/white border on its
nose, the car with the
starting No. DM124 was
offered at “Leggenda e
Passione, ” an auction
that took place in
Maranello, Italy in May
2009. The bidding went as
high as 9.02 million
Euros, and the car
changed hands. Is there
better proof that the
fascination with Testa
Rossa is still going
strong? Please enjoy this
CMC model which is
replicated true to the
original. And this one is
affordable to you.

CMC Diecast 1:18 scale
model Porsche 911 Yellow.
The successful
performance of the
legendary Porsche 356,
the Type 901 sports
coupé, was first
introduced to the public
on the 12th of September
in 1963 at the IAA in
Frankfurt. One year later
by October 1964, the 901
had already reached the
stage of series-producton
readiness and was debuted
at the Parisian Auto
show. The company of
Peugeot protested, and
forced Porsche to change
the center-positioned
number zero in their type
designation, because
they owned a copyright of
all triple-digit type
designations with a zero
in the middle.
Subsequently, Porsche
decided to redefine the
type designation as 911.
But still some 82 pieces
of the serial production
had left the Porsche
plant with the type
designation 901 (real
collectors’ rarities).
On the 27th of October in
1964, the first model
with the type designation
911 was delivered. From
now on it's that three
digit number, that
raises the heartbeat of
all sports cars
enthusiasts around the
world. The "nine
eleven-success story" was
irresistible. A real Type
901 was the source for
our 1:18 scale model.

250GT Competizione 1961.
In 2008, a Ferrari 250
GT landed one of the
highest bids that had
every been made in an
automobile auction.
Including all charges and
surcharges, the bidder
was willing to pay 7.04
Million Euros (approx. 10
Million US Dollars) for
the vehicle. Why? Just
two words, which
happened to be the title
of the auction: Leggenda
e passione or “legend
and passion.”By the end
of the 1950’s, the 250
GT was already a much
demanded car. Aristocrats
or Hollywood stars -- the
ones who could afford it
-- tried to lay their
hands on a street
version. Famous race
drivers, such as
Stirling Moss, Wolfgang
Graf Berghe von Trips,
John Surtees and Maurice
Trintignant, virtually
felt obliged to drive a
racing version of the 250
GT called
“Competizione.”
Perhaps no other car has
had such an impact on the
history of the Scuderia
Ferrari.After having
introduced the street
version of the 250 GT

delighted to offer you a

250 GT landed one of the
highest bids that had
every been made in an
automobile auction.
Including all charges and
surcharges, the bidder
was willing to pay 7.04
Million Euros (approx. 10
Million US Dollars) for
the vehicle. Why? Just
two words, which
happened to be the title
of the auction: Leggenda
e passione or "legend and
passion". By the end of
the 1950’s, the 250 GT
was already a much
demanded car. Aristocrats
or Hollywood stars -- the
ones who could afford it
-- tried to lay their
hands on a street
version. Famous race
drivers, such as
Stirling Moss, Wolfgang
Graf Berghe von Trips,
John Surtees and Maurice
Trintignant, virtually
felt obliged to drive a
racing version of the 250
GT called "Competizione".
Perhaps no other car has
had such an impact on the
history of the Scuderia
Ferrari. ****PLEASE EMAIL
